Times are dire here around Dragon Valley. We are fighting off waves of orc armies, goblin war machines and even the flying lizards themselves. For now, the mountain pass remains secure but our scouts have reported large gatherings in the valley and we are expecting a full scale assault before the seasons end. If that was not enough to worry about, our neighbors are also preparing for war and petitioning the king for his troops and supplies, which are already spread thin. It seems you will not only be fighting a war of steel, but one of words as well.
